New Sauber to launch on January 26

Sauber has confirmed it will launch its new car online on January 26 ahead of the first test at Jerez.

The Sauber C33-Ferrari will be presented via the Sauber website two days ahead of the start of testing, with the car getting its first run out at Jerez on January 28. After losing Nico Hulkenberg, the team has signed Adrian Sutil from Force India for 2014, with Esteban Gutierrez staying on for a second season.

Sauber joins Ferrari and McLaren in launching their cars online prior to the first test, while Red Bull, Mercedes and Caterham have said they will present their cars on the morning of the opening day at Jerez.

Williams will also be present at Jerez with its new car but has yet to confirm its launch plans, while Lotus is delaying the launch of the E22 until prior to the second test in Bahrain. Toro Rosso is expected to be at the first test, but Marussia and Force India's plans are still unknown.
